What Is Harassment?

Harassment in Nevada is an extremely broad crime which can include a variety
of actions. In general, harassment refers to any intentional threat of
harm severe enough to where the targeted person reasonably fears that
the threat will be carried out. Such threats may include bodily injury,
damaged property, false imprisonment, or any other act intended to harm
another person’s mental or physical wellbeing. These threats may
be made by words or conduct and are frequently connected with incidents of
domestic violence, with threats of future harm still being sufficient to warrant charges.

A conviction of simple harassment in Nevada can carry the following charges:

Up to six months in jail

Up to a $1,000 fine

A misdemeanor criminal record

Subsequent offenses can have double penalties, with threats of severe bodily
harm or death carrying up to 15 years imprisonment upon conviction. Finally,
Harassment involving the use of the internet or text messaging can be
charged as a category C felony, mandating up to 5 years in prison and
$10,000 in fines upon conviction.

Standing By Your Side Every Step of the Way

Though our nation’s criminal justice system may be based on the principle
that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty, merely the implication

introduce doubts and prejudices in the minds of jurors and prosecutors.
